Concert

CATHEDRAL ORGAN FUND TO BENEFIT

The Hong Kong Singers, for their Recital in St. John's Cathedral on Thursday next at 9.15 p.m., have excelled themselves as regards their choice of music. Never before have we had such a chance of listening: to music admittedly the most dif- ficult, and withal the most lovely. From the calmn serenity of Bach's chorales, with the infinite variety of treatment in which the great! master excels, to the exuberant | buoyancy of the typically English Parry, we have a programme to suit all tastes and satisfy the most fastidious.

It must be admitted that after two performances of Brahms' **Requiem", Elgar's "For the Fallen" and a full-dress rendering of the "Messiah ', as well as a few secular concerts in one season, it is something of a feat to "roduce a programme. embracing such diffi- cult music of the highest standard, when the hot weather has really arrived. The enthusiastic Hong Rong Singers however, seem to thrive on hard work, and plenty of it, and the public can show its up- preciation of and gratitude to the local Choral Society by gathering in large numbers on Thursday next at 9.15 p.m. and contributing generously to the good cause which will benest. Programmes are now available, for which on this occasion the small sum of 20 cents will be charged, merely to cover the cost) Antwerp Canal, now approach of production."
